Fort Myers is a relaxation station
Perched on the Caloosahatchee River where it meets the Gulf of Mexico, Fort Myers is a leisurely, laid-back alternative to the clubby glamor on Florida’s Atlantic coast. Just a stone’s throw from miles of barrier islands lined with marshes and unspoiled beaches, the opportunities to bask in seaside paradise are endless.
Chill out around town, then make your way out to the many wildlife and nature preserves around the city, hit a round of golf, and collect your fair share of beach glass.
